that's certainly not a position that president obama or then senator obama subscribed to. it's obviously not a position that senator hagel believes was the right one. and the fact that there's a disagreement over that, i think we can all pause it. what i can tell you is that the president believes that senator hagel will make an excellent secretary of defense and that he will be confirmed. and he looks forward to working with senator hagel in that position as we continue to advance our national security priorities. >> a topic that came up yesterday, today's jobs data showed the unemployment rate rising to 7.9%. it's hovered in that range for a number of months. to be sure the economy created jobs but it's at a relatively modest pace. we had a report recently of a contraction in the nation's output in the fourth quarter of last year. increasingly you have people like laura tyson writing columns calling for the need for a plan for faster growth, not deficit reduction. what is the president -- i know you've talked about how all the president's plans envision job creation, but

obama and mr. boehner to avoid the debt limit being violated, and having america's credit undermined. that's when it was brought up, because it was republican policy and maybe that was a part of a compromise which it ended up being. 222 republicans voted today, again as pointed out, 96% of the caucus, to go home. to go home for a week without a way to turn off the sequester. they're once again walking away from the american people. you have may remember, when unemployment insurance was at risk, i said they were walking away from six million people. they walked away from middle class tax cuts. i assume that when they say this, in advertising their adjournment resolution, they called it it rules, resolution prohibiting democratic grand standing on the house floor. not only would they not put mr. van hollens legislation on the flue two weeks ago or this week, they won't even open the floor to discussion, to the representatives of the american people. i assume that grand standing they referred to is wh

the problem is that president obama got this correct. he did not define the problem as we have too many uninsured. we defined the problem as unsustainable health care cost growth. then i strong strongly disagree with his solution which is government financed benefit to a bunch of people. then increase government intervention with private sector health care is going to result in slowing cost growth. we got the expansion of access, by the way, mostly through medicaid. we have gotten that so the cost is built into the system. what we have not got is any kind of certainty that health care cost is going to slow. in fact, what history suggest the more you move the payment to a third party, the more that gets spent. this has been true with the creation of medicaid, it helps the people in those programs but it increased the level and the growth rate of spending. it is true in private insurance as well. my fear is we have expanded access but if anything we exacerbated the growth in health care. i think is way to go is push the decisions more to t

obama learned this early on. he had a four year head start and with his data machine, they built a kind of grassroots tactical edge that is the model of politics. my favorite example of this is that the obama campaign actually hired a guy in cleveland who is sole job it was to go to work shops all day he'd go to one barbershop, then another, he'd sit around talk to people, what are the hopes and dreams. what is going on in the family. what are their financial problems. so when it came time to turn them out on election day, it's like turning out your friend. now i don't care how much money you put into media buys you cannot done kate that connection with voters. it seems that strategists are catching on. but there has to be a caveat. 2012 was not 2010. 2010 i would say was a policy referendum on policy issues, healthcare, bailout spending. 2012 at the end of the day was a personality contest at the presidential level. mitt romney was the next white guy in line and like bob dole. no doubt republicans will lose that
